s/myth/legal absurdity/

This is one thing that bothers me about the gpl. It essentially tries 
to create 'code as a legal entity'. That is, it gives rights not to 
the creator of some code, but to the code itself. For me, the fact 
that corporations are considered people by the law is ridiculous. 
Using a license that ends up doing the same thing with code leaves a 
bad taste in my mouth.
